61. Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) And Quetico Park Wildlife late evening paddle will also offer additional opportunities to view wildlife asthe WEASEL FAMILY This group includes martens, fisher, otter, mink and skunks http://www.canoetrip.com/wildlife.html

Over 52 species of mammals and 150 species of birds inhabit the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) and Quetico Provincial Park. While on your canoe trip, while sitting at your campsite you may see a tiny shrew weighing a fraction of an ounce, or a huge bull moose weighing in at over 1200 pounds. Traveling and portaging through the BWCA or Quetico Park as silently as possible will afford you with the best possibility of seeing wildlife up close. If you hear a rustling or crashing in the woods, sit quietly and be patient. Moose, deer and other mammals frequently lack good eyesight, but have a great sense of smell. Usually they will smell your presence and if you remain still they will move into the open, or right by you after realizing that your smell is not a "threat" to them. Going out on an early morning or late evening paddle will also offer additional opportunities to view wildlife as the move to the waters edge to feed and drink. Mammals - This small flesh eating mammal spends much of its time underground, under rocks, under logs and sometimes even underwater. This tiny creature is covered with dense fur, has very small eyes and teeth and a long slender nose. Moles and shrews feed mainly on insects and earthworms. The pygmy shrew is the smallest living mammal, 3 inches long including the tail. Look for this animal along the shoreline, scurrying under rocks and logs.

Greens Condemn Campaign Against Pine Martens Martes Martes This group, among others, accepts that captive-bred pheasants have very low survival rate in the wild. After one week only 60 per cent survive and this can fall to 25 per cent after only one month. The reason: pen-reared birds never have a chance to learn predator avoidance behaviour. Any surviving birds show low breeding success. There is also the risk of genetic dilution of the wild stock and introduction of disease. Another concern is that by releasing a large number of birds in a given area, predators may start keying on pheasants. Back e-mail : editor@clarechampion.ie

I have learned that the energy budgets of fishers ( Martes pennanti ) are interdependent with their foraging choices and their sexual dimorphism in body size. Fluctuations in small mammal populations cause weasel populations never to have stable age distributions or survival schedules and significantly affect sexual dimorphism and mating patterns of weasels (Mustela spp.). Fluctuations in small mammal populations also allow the coexistence of more than one weasel species. Productivity of food explains whether black bears (Ursus americanus) defend territories or tolerate home range overlap and changes in productivity of food can affect intrasexual territoriality in a range of mustelid species. Tunnel systems, and not food, appear to be the limiting resource for woodland voles (Microtus pinetorum) and the low availability of tunnel systems delays dispersal in young voles, leading to cooperative breeding.

ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILDLIFE HABITATS AND AN INTRODUCTION TO WILDLIFE LAW FW 5603 Description of HSI Models Updated 11/01/02 WHAT ARE HABITAT SUITABILITY MODELS, WHY DO WE NEED THEM, AND HOW DO WE CREATE THEM? One way to answer the question above is to pose a problem for you to ponder and think about how you'd solve it: You are a forest biologist responsible for a vast region within which you would never have enough time or funding to do careful surveys of even one animal species of interest. Nevertheless, regulations require that you demonstrate that your forests are being managed (e.g. harvested) in a manner that is resulting in significant habitat loss for any of species that has been declared as being "of concern." Consider then the following example of one such species, the pine marten. All we know (or think we know) about this animal's habitat requirements is that, at least in winter, it a) Has a home range of about 15 km b) Will not cross openings that are more than 50 m wide, c) Avoids young forests

A $40,000 federally funded study being conducted by the Nevada Division of Wildlife is a tiny part of the $900 million Tahoe Environmental Improvement Project, an ambitious plan of programs and environmental measures researchers say are needed to protect Lake Tahoe's clarity and the basin's delicately balanced ecosystem. While erosion control, water quality and air quality are the big-ticket items of the improvement plan, wildlife, fisheries, recreation and scenic resources also were included as important to the Tahoe area's overall environmental stability.

TOP As more and more land is snatched up for residential and commercial development, wildlife and people find themselves closer to each other—sometimes too close for comfort. A look at some of the stories local papers have run recently reveals that, in a growing number of instances, this is the case with Canada geese and other waterfowl. Although commonly associated with lakes and ponds, most waterfowl spend much time on land, and some will nest quite a distance from water if a site appears safe. Artificial ponds and lakes, storm water impoundments, and especially the vast expanses of good grazing surfaces typical of municipal parks, corporate developments, golf courses, and other human-built environments are ideal habitats for Canada geese, swans, and ducks.

71. The Mammal Society: Pine Martens martens and their dens are fully protected by the wildlife and Countryside Act(1981) and must not be trapped, sold or disturbed except under licence from http://www.mammal.org.uk/pine.htm

The Mammal Society Fact Sheet No.11 THE PINE MARTEN Martes martes Recognition: Dark brown fur; yellow/white throat patch; long fluffy tail. Head/body length: males 51-54cm; females 46-54cm; Tail length: males 26-27cm; females 18-24cm. Weight: males 1.5-2.2kg; females 0.9-1.5kg. General Ecology: Pine martens are found in the Scottish Highlands and Grampian, with isolated populations in southern Scotland. In England and North Wales pine martens are probably on the verge of extinction although there may still be isolated individuals present in Northumberland and North Yorkshire. Although they occur in a wide range of habitats, pine martens prefer well-wooded areas with plenty of cover. Marten dens are commonly found in hollow trees or the fallen root masses of Scots pines, an association that probably earned pine martens their name; cairns and cliffs covered with scrub are frequently used as alternative den sites. Martens have a very varied diet, which changes with the seasonal availability of different foods. Small rodents are a very important food, but birds, beetles, carrion, eggs and fungi are also eaten. In autumn, berries are a staple part of the diet. Martens mostly hunt on the ground, although they are superb climbers and can climb with great agility. Martens have territories that vary in size according to habitat and food availability. For males these are about 10-25 square kilometres and for females about 5-15 square kilometres. Martens mark their territories with faeces (known as scats) deposited in places where they are conspicuous to other martens; they are frequently left along forestry trails.

Web site menu: HOMEPAGE ACTIVITIES Accommodation Climbing ... CONTACT Wildlife holidays and tours in Scotland Whether you are a bird-watcher, a whale-watcher or just a general wildlife enthusiast, you will find that Scotland makes a very special wildlife holiday destination - a place to see a wide variety of birds, mammals and other wildlife in the dramatic and beautiful setting of the unspoilt Scottish countryside. If ornithology is your thing, you will find that Scotland really is a world class destination for bird-watching. From the huge colonies of birds on Scotland's coastal cliffs to the solitary splendour of the golden eagle or the unique Scottish crossbill, there are so many possibilities it is impossible to mention them all here. If marine tourism is what attracts you, you will find that off the Scottish coast you can get as close as is sensible to whales, dolphins, seals - even otters. And back on dry land you can get close - though perhaps not too close - to magnificent wild animals such as red deer, roe deer, wild cats and pine martens. One of the best ways to appreciate the diversity of wildlife opportunities in Scotland is to go out with an expert guide. A good wildlife guide will not only know how to find the best sights, they will also know how to treat them with the respect that they deserve.

CSERC Home News AboutCSERC Wildlife ... Links Our Photo Detection Surveys It helps if you aren't too offended by having a thawed chicken drip its juices down your arm as you wire it to a tree. It also helps if you can stand the pungent aroma of the scented attractant, which is composed primarily of skunk spray extract. For the past several years, CSERC staff and volunteers have set up photo detection wildlife stations in remote, unprotected roadless areas within the Stanislaus National Forest. At each site, we wire a store-bought frozen chicken high up on a tree, then set up an infrared transmitter and receiver that triggers a nearby camera to take a picture when the beam is broken. With luck, the final result is a photographic record of each wildlife visitor that follows its nose to the chicken or the extremely strong smelling attractant that we apply to the tree. The purpose of the project is to identify which species of wildlife still survive within the unprotected roadless areas of the Stanislaus Forest. These wild areas contain pockets of old growth trees, undisturbed habitat, and remoteness from the roads and human activities that disturb certain wildlife species. Our primary targets are fishers and martens two rare species that are seldom found within most logged or developed lands of the Sierra Nevada. So far, we've found a number of marten locations, but not a single fisher. Bears, and More Bears
